Still making their way in a millimeter at a time....2 bottom teeth! I remember Griffin's first teeth played a hide-and-seek game for a while, visible then not, over and over. Cooper's are not doing that, but are just taking their sweet time.
Cooper has also started sitting a lot. If he keeps his hands down he can sit for quite some time. Trouble happens when he's got them in his mouth and doesn't put them down fast enough when he gets wobbly. Face plants are NOT fun.
Since we were a month behind on the shot schedule, I actually have measurements to go along with this update.
Height: 27 inches - 48%
Weight: 15.8lbs - 5.8%
Head: 43 3/4 cm - 31.3%
Notice the weight percentile.....Dr. Sponenberg is not concerned about my skinny baby. He says he looks fine and has some pudge, so no worries there.
Also, it seems he's developed his first habit. Griffin was a thumb-sucker. My nephew Briley had a blanket with him everywhere he went. Cooper has never taken to a pacifier or any other typical baby habit. he likes to pull his shirt. It doesn't matter if he's hungry or not, tired or just work up.....maybe it's teeth related. The necks of his clothing are taking a beating! they get stretched out big enough for a linebacker and soaking wet in no time. He might have to start wearing bibs all day.
Another super cute development, he's started "shying away" when people look/talk/smile at him. It is soooooo adorable when he hides his little face in my neck. Maybe I can get that on video by next month.
Where do I begin with Griffin?
He is something else. I think that term "threenager" is a real phenomenon. He is an endless ball of sass and energy.
I did a terrible job this month writing down the many things he says and all that he did that he make Drew and I look at each other in shock. There would be a million if I kept track. He is just so smart and catches on to everything he sees or hears. There is never a dull moment.
He had his first (and only) T Ball practice ahead of 5 weeks of games starting on Tuesday nights. It was quite interesting. Drew and I are helping coach the team. I was so involved trying to help each little boy get a turn at bat, I hardly had eyes on Griffin the whole time. At one point he came moping over to me, red faced, crying with his head down and said "I want to win Momma!" Oh dear.
As wild as he is, he is so loving at the same time. Now that the weather is warming up, he is spending lots of evenings outside. I love to watch him interact with our cats when he doesn't know I'm looking. He hugs them and talks to them about who knows what. They love him, but not near as much as his little brother does. Griffin spends so much time making sure Cooper is happy and taken care of, it brings me so much joy. He is really the best big brother ever.
